    Cultural comparisons between Eberron & Earth?

    The real world is actually exciting and there are places in it that I would love to visit. Ebber-yawn on the other hand.... ;)

    Hell, there's not enough nudity in RPG's.

    What's your monthly gaming budget?

    My wife and I just celebrated the birth of our first child, so my gaming budget can be best categorized by one of two epochs: BC - that is Before Child, I spent a good 40-50 bucks a month or so on various gaming materials, a new rule book, some Reaper minis, etc. AD - that is After Delivery, I...

    If you were a DM, would you like....

    Most of the big bad-guy or main adversary NPC's I create are built with character levels, not with the npc class levels. I find them to be more robust and well-rounded this way. Only very rarely will I create a main villian with only npc class levels. The pure npc classes I feel are just...

    How is this plot?

    Very nice idea. And a good way to get the PC's entangled against at least two neat and "scalable" enemies in a short amount of time. I say scalable b/c both the Thieve's guild and the Renegade guild can throw opposition at the PC's no matter what the party's power level is. If you want to...

    Where do good dragons get the treasure they hoard?

    Answer: from the DM. No seriously, I would say either tribute from "lesser" beings who may pay for protection or the answer to some ancient mystery, or the spoils of war taken from evil enemies.

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    Although no one ever tried to "save" me from D&D, I did have a girlfriend who was (for some reason) very, very shocked that I had joined a D&D gaming group of folks I met thru the internet. At one time she went to a pretty wacky church, so maybe that's where she "heard Dungeons and Dragons was...

    What's the coolest item in your game collection?

    Oooh, I remember seeing that set back in the day at a friend's house. Quite a find nowdays I would believe.

    What's the coolest item in your game collection?

    I'm sure like many of you, I have a large collection of game stuff from modules, to rulebooks, to whole game systems. Via years of perusing used bookstores and, more recently, ebay, the collection has grown to truly sprawling proprotions. It contains alot of the good (1st edition Paranoia box...

    Which out-of-print RPGs do you still play?

    Warhammer FRPG and Paranoia, baby! Can't match the first for flavor, can't match the second for fun.

    Anyone else of this opinion? Or not?

    A good GM can easily overcome the shortcomings of a bad module. A bad module can rarely stump a good GM. However, woe to the gaming group faced with an inherently flawed module gripped in the hands of a poor GM.

    Making combat faster

    No perusing thru spellbooks or the PHB during your turn (but before you make your declaration of action). Everyone should know the capabilities of their feats, spells and powers up front. If you don't want to play a complicated character, stick to a sword swinger. Keeping a 15-20 second...

    Where you live: Gamer Paradise or Gamer Wasteland?

    I live just north of Austin, Texas and it's definitely gamer-friendly. While FLGS are not exactly falling off the trees like ripe fruit here, the ones that do exist are pretty dedicated to servicing our hobby. That said, the community of the Greater Austin area itself is a pretty darn...

    Eberron - Cool or Drool?

    From what I've seen so far its just Eber-yawn to me. While I appreciate all of the creativity and hardwork poured in to the game world, it's just not happenin' for me. No spark. No "I must buy this" vibe.

    Dwellers of the Forbidden City - your experiences?

    I played it once and DM'd it twice. Awesome all the way around. Memories as a player: My paladin losing an eye to the dirty fighting tasoli chief. Oh well, the paladin never used missile weapons anyway. Much of our group biting it thanks to a well placed Cone of Cold courtesy of Horan, the...
